Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Has anyone posted that HoYay made Newsweek?

Wow. Time to put it in the OED.

Ann, that's a ferret.

is August 12th St. Andrew's Day?

I've read too many Anthony Trollope novels to forget this --

August 12 is the Glorious Twelfth. It's the day hunting season (for grouse?) starts.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

We are so mainstream.

Apart from sports, "my secret favorite thing on earth is ketchup. I will put ketchup on anything. But it has to be Heinz." - my husband, Michael Vartan

Buffy running after Riley, and indeed, Xander giving that speech to Buffy that encouraged her to do so, made me want to smash my TV with a sledge hammer. I understand, Alibelle.

Thanks, Cindy. And see, in order to protect myself, I have consciously avoided learning the names of many of the later Angel episodes, so I can't connect people to them. This habit started pretty much as soon as Cordelia turned into a saint. But I wasn't exactly obsessively keeping track of all the Connor episodes, either.

I wonder which state will be the first to ban HoYay.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

As long as it's still legal in Canada, we shouldn't run out.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

It is now the time when we ritually mock the southerners for their inability to drive in snow. I am home watching cars slide down my street, which is only very slightly inclined. We have had a scant one half inch of snow, and bare (wet) pavement is showing on parts of the street.

I heard that aside from the lack of snow removal equipment, one of the big problems when the south gets more than a dusting of snow is that the material the roads down there are made of gets much slicker than the roads in the cold weather state. I also suspect that they lack the pot holes, ruts, and frost heaves that are part and parcel with heavy duty winters, and which I've always suspected help with the traction as much as the hurt the suspension, at least at slower speeds.

On the other hand, too many days of high-nineties weather up here and the roads start getting gooey.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

What we get is usually snow and rain mix, and plummeting overnight temps, which gives us large and lovely sheets of ice. Or sleet and rain, same result. We rarely get easy-to-drive-in ordinary snow.

Ah Canada, source of cheap drugs, mounties, moose, and homoeroticism.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

And legal liquor for College students. That was a big part of my impression of Canada when I went to Montreal at 2 am on a Thursday Night.
